Arranged Courses

We periodically run our own arranged courses to allow
individuals and smaller teams the chance to learn at a more reasonable cost:

Unleashing Zend Expressive

This two-day course uses interactive coding to introduce and then looks in detail at Zend Expressive 2.
We start by looking at the foundations of the framework and then turn our attention to how
middleware works and provides the power and flexibility in Expressive. You will learn how to build a
well-rounded website using the rich eco-system of components from Zend Framework and elsewhere with
Composer integration.

Building APIs

This two-day course has hands-on exercises to introduce API building with PHP. We start by
looking at HTTP and how APIs work and then turn our attention to building one out in PHP. You'll
leave with a solid understanding of API theory, and your own API built using what you've
learned.

Introducing Zend Framework

This two or three-day course uses hands-on exercises to introduce and then looks in detail at
Zend Framework 3. We start by looking at the foundations of the framework and then turn our
attention to new modular-based MVC application system to provide attendees with a good
understanding of Zend Framework. We also look at some of the other components within ZF that
make for a more rounded application.

Using Laravel for Rapid Development

A two-day course delivered using hands-on exercises introduces the central concepts of Laravel.
Using Laravel's opinionated rapid development concepts attendees will walk away with the
knowledge of how to build their own fully functional software-as-a-service offering using
Laravel's artisan offerings.
